I don't quite understand how you use Windows VPN clients (I am asuming
you mean PPTP) to connect to mpd. The pkg-descr for mpd is as follows:
..."Mpd is a user-mode implementation of the PPP protocol for FreeBSD.
It supports several of the numerous PPP sub-protocols and extensions,
such as:
Multi-link PPP capability
PAP, CHAP, and MS-CHAP authentication
DES encryption "...
It says nothing of PPTP. If uo have manged to get it going with PPTP
clients I would be very grateful if you could supply me with the basic
details and some sample configs. I would be happy to write the HOWTO and
post it for everyone else.......
